What are some retro-looking scopes (currently made new/old) you can put on a carry handle that'll look the part. with or without picatinny railBesides Armson OEG and brownells 4X.
so much sovl
>>64465539that optic is clownshoes but if i were around in 1981 i would've thought it dope
Picked one of these up at a thrift store for a few bucks. Shame the batteries cost more than the scope.
>>64465509>>64465539Pro-tip about the ancient Aimpoints ,Mk3 and earlier.They're made to take two super-obscure 1.5V batteries that are very difficult to find and usually very expensive.But a single 3V CR-2 camera battery (common and cheap) will fit and function just fine in them, although you may have to stretch the spring in the battery compartment endcap slightly to make it work reliably, and double check the polarity during the installation.T. Someone who found one of these things in the local gunshop bargain bin for $10. So far it has been unbelievably good, like genuinely amazing, for a first-gen red dot optic that's pushing 40 years of age.
>>64465614Aimpoint 9000 can look the part. Ultradot and C-More red dots are actual retro optics that are still in production today. The Meprolight M21 has been around since the early 2000s and definitely has a bulky look to it and is built like a tank.
>>64465638With an Aimpoint Mark III, I have had good look running it with a CR123 battery with the plastic wrapper removed. But for the love of god, do not insert it with the wrapper still attached or there is a good chance you won't be able to get it out.
>>64465672>But for the love of god, do not insert it with the wrapper still attached...Yeah, I can imagine.The CR123 is quite a bit fatter than the original batteries that the Mk3 is built for.The CR2 is the correct diameter, but it's slightly shorter than a stack of two original 1.5V batteries, so if you use a CR2 you'll probably want to stretch out the spring a bit to ensure that the battery won't move around too much under recoil.
>>64465491Yup
>>64465501>>64465509sovlhonestly its crazy how nobody makes a holo competitor
>>64465623french police swat teams always had drip
>>64465614>Armson OEGLooks interesting though I wonder how accurate it is
>>64465585Reinforcing my point.They have been around a long time.
>>64465560I had one of those. It had an insatiable appetite for 9 volt batteries and was challenged in daylight by a mini-maglite
>>64465560>>64466729Currently own one. Trying to figure out how to non destructively disassemble it for 3D scanning and archival for gun nerds.Also yes. Batteries. Also laser tube go "Bzzz"
>>64466794Mine looked like it was plastiwelded together. That's why I got rid of it way back when, because the earphone jack for the switch came loose and vanished inside the thing. I only had about $100.00 in it, and traded it and $50.00 for a semi-functional PVS2.

>>64466885not a mag lite
>>64466977Yup
>>64466835Thanks man. I feared that was the case. It has a lot in common with a Kodak Ektalite (Helium Neon) laser pointer. Same manufacturer.

>>64468514neat
>>64466831>HS10How are these? I didn't know until recently they were ever even on the civilian market.

>>64465664Aimpoint 9000 has been discontinued i think
>>64469841okay yeah it's been discontinued. The last good, lasting quality optic with a retro look and Aimpoint just fucking discontinued it, dumb fucks.
>>64466831Hey its the flashlight autist!
>>64468514all the weight of a 30-06 rifle with the stopping power of .32 ACP and the reliability of "no"

>>64465509I have one of these, mk2. It's great.
>>64465633Looks weirdly Weaver inspired.>>64469143I also have one.
>>64465538That's just 90's soap bar aerodynamics.

>>64473170Max comfy
>>64469666It's just a stock autoloading shotgun in a plastic bullpup shell, like some kind of Tapco abomination. I actually haven't fired mine since it has an early plastic buttplate. Don't want to crack anything.>>64470033I'd like to think I have enough flashlights at this point I've graduated to "eccentric."
>>64469953Nice. The Fero Z51 is a much better scope than the PVS-2 (virtually no fish-eye) but I don't recommend anyone buy one for more than $100. The tubes they use are unobtanium.

>>64473691God retro-shit had so much SOVL, I wanna go back to the cassette era.
>>64473816C-MORE
>>64474059It’s pretty fantastic for a legacy dot. I went with 6moa but may try to move down to 4-5moa. Under nvg is slightly too bright on the lowest setting to where the dot blooms a little much for my liking. My only wish is that they made a green dot.

>>64469953Starlight scopes were peak
>>64475116I come from a world you may not understand.>defense tactics flashlight manualThey sold that for cops around 1982. More recently I found a smaller one the same people did for women in 1984. The message is along the lines of "how to use a flashlight to keep from being raped...and what do do if it didn't work."
Here's my attempt at something with a function of an 80s top-mounted laser, but with a modern laser-light that I don't have to worry about damaging. Using a Streamlight Protac Hlx laser since that is about the only laser that is a bit angular and half-way looks the part. I have it mounted to an Aimtech APM-7 mount which replaces one of the grip panels sort of like in Terminator 1, but with two additional mounting points so that it's a bit more sturdy. Fun as hell to shoot in an indoor range.
>>64465538You really look at any object and think "could I put this in my ass" thats kinda gay anon
>>64473816B-square bro. I raise you a C-more
Here is a beamshot 1000 ultra. These seem to have been produced since the early 90s and at least into 2023. Optics Planet and Ebay still have new ones in stock which are marked with that date of manufacture. The older ones (as pictured) were meant to mount to a special trigger guard mount that was specific to your model of pistol. Then you would add your laser unit into a clamp (not so different from a scope ring) onto the trigger guard mount. The newer beamshots are still compatible with the old mounting systems, but are shipped with a newer rail-mounted clamp rather than the trigger guard version.
>>64465595Amazing. It's like the older brother to the lasermax for the Ruger LCR
0>>64475938I want to get an LCRX and a grip for it, but they've been out of stock for a while. Not sure if I would want a left handed grip.Looks like the lasers are out of stock on Ruger's site, too.
>>64465482>6” height over boreDo you rest your chin on the buffer tube or what?
>>64475881Perfection. Yknow how recoil resistant these things are? I really want to put one on a shotgun.
>>64473816How well does that eject brass?
>>64465595The best looking vintage lasers.
>>64475724My words are literally mine over there, and yours are literally that right there. You poor stupid projecting literal fag.
>>64465501Tried to bid 200 on this recently, some fag got it for 240Hope he chokes on it
